I got "you're too young to feel like that." And that was that. I've even had a Dr put me on anti-depressants because i cried about pain in my arm. 2 years later and many many shots, i had my neck fused . I had bone spurs, pinched nerves, ruptured disk.

Yes, I always feel like I’m being bounced around between drs, dismissed, and/or passed off to different specialists. Can really start to feel like you’re crazy and no one wants to deal with you.

Yesss!!! A rheumatologist in my doctor's office told me that if I took better care of myself I wouldn't have flare ups that land me in ER. 🙄

If I get that feeling I just never go back. They’re a waste of my time. It’s really frustrating because I feel like men don’t have as hard a time with doctors believing them.
